Founded in 1966, RIF is the oldest and largest children's and family nonprofit literacy organization in the United States. RIF’s highest priority is reaching underserved children from birth to age 8. Through a national, grassroots network of community volunteers at 21,000 program sites, RIF provides 5 million children with 17 million new, free books and literacy resources each year.

All RIF programs combine three essential elements to foster children's literacy: reading motivation, family and community involvement, and the excitement of choosing free books to keep.

RIF's accomplishments are due in part to the generous support of the U.S. Department of Education, corporations, foundations, community organizations, and thousands of individuals.

Specifically at Creston School, the RIF program is supported for students in grades kindergarten through 8th by the Creston Booster Club, our longtime partner. We appreciate their interest in Creston School and their dedication to our students.

Parents, guardians, or community members who would like to help with the RIF program may call the school.
